For your entertainment/criticism/sympathy du jour:

Last night, while rolling out pizza dough on the kitchen counter (made
somewhat crowded by random breads, vegetables (tomatoes, avocados) and
appliances), I managed to knock the large (~10 pound) open container
of flour off the counter that I was using to dust the dough.

Bad news: It landed on the floor, upside down.

Good news: It landed squarely. So the flour was constrained to a
small area of the floor and there was no huge cloud to coat the entire
kitchen a la some 1930s comedy movie.

Saved! by. the. BELL! That's a riot.

After calling the family down to witness the mishap and accept their
abuse, cleanup was a matter of slipping a large flexible cutting board
under the container, then vacuuming up what little was left. Whew!

Talk about dodging a bullet. And now you know to move the other
stuff out of the way. I'm particularly prone to working with clutter.
So much easier if you move it first.
